This week, we are amazed at the faith of the woman and the official, Jairus and Jesus was amazed too. Lord, may we always invite you to come with us on our journey, increase our faith so that we may never be afraid to ask you for favours like Jairus did or to touch your garment like the woman did. We pray for all the Peters, Pauls, Olivers, Thomas and Elizabeths in the parish, may they be held close to you and may their faith be renewed and increased. Amen. FEAST DAYS FOR THE WEEK Mon: Ss.
